Is it permissible to give zakat to a university student who cannot find enough to cover his studies and personal expenses, while he owns a small inherited agricultural plot of land, and what should he do with the zakat he received if it was not permissible for him?

A student is not permitted to receive zakat unless specific conditions are met. Owning a plot of land constitutes an impediment, unless it is insufficient to cover their expenses. If the land generates sufficient income or can be sold to cover their needs, then it is not permissible to receive zakat, and if it was taken, it must be returned. However, if the land's income is insufficient for their needs, then it is permissible to receive zakat to cover the shortfall, and they are not obliged to sell it.
